View online: http://drupal.org/node/1569512 * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-075 * Project: Take Control [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-May-09 * Security risk: Critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- This module enables you to manage your Drupal file-system from within Drupal itself. The module does not sufficiently validate Ajax calls leading to possibility of a Cross Site Request Forgery CSRF attack. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must be able to guess your Drupal file-system root path exactly. Further, if your site follows the secure file-system permissions recommendations [3] and the web-server account does not have write access to Drupal root, only files/folders in Drupal's "files" directory are open to manipulation. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Take Control 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2. Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Take Control [4] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Take Control module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Take Control 6.x-2.2 [5] Also see the Take Control [6] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Carl Wiedemann [7] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Rahul Singla [8] the module maintainer -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Greg Knaddison [9] of the Drupal Security Team * Michael Hess [10] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [11].
